In which one of the following is Malta located?

Malta is a small archipelagic country situated in the central/southern Mediterranean Sea, located south of Sicily and north of North Africa. Official geographic descriptions and atlas entries identify the Maltese Islands as a Mediterranean archipelago and note their strategic position in the central Mediterranean between southern Europe and northern Africa. This places Malta clearly in the Mediterranean Sea basin rather than in the Baltic, Black, or North Seas, which are separate northern and eastern European seas with different coastlines and hydrographic characteristics. The combined cartographic and descriptive sources therefore support the selection of the Mediterranean Sea as Malta’s marine location.
